Four-star 2026 defensive back Justin Hopkins narrows list to 12, including Tennessee football
Ensworth defensive back Justin Hopkins included Tennessee football among his final 12 schools in a social media post Wednesday.
The 5-foot-11, 170-pound four-star cornerback listed the Vols along with Vanderbilt, Minnesota, Duke, Missouri, Indiana, Georgia Tech, Maryland, Iowa, Ole Miss, Auburn and West Virginia on his X account, formerly known as Twitter.
He’s the No. 9-ranked prospect in Tennessee and No. 18 nationally at corner for the class of 2026, according to 247Sports Composite.
Hopkins also holds offers from Cincinnati, UConn, Memphis, Miami (Ohio), Purdue, Toledo, UNLV and Western Kentucky.
Tennessee coach Josh Heupel guided the Vols to a College Football Playoff berth as one of the 12 teams in the newly expanded field. Heupel has had success securing some of the state’s top recruits in recent years, including Brentwood Academy quarterback George MacIntyre, Hopkins’ teammate, defensive tackle, Ethan Utley as well as Baylor wide receiver Joakim Dodson, Jefferson County offensive lineman Nic Moore and Sheffield wideout Radarious Jackson.
Hopkins helped guide Ensworth to an 11-1 record that included a trip to the TSSAA Division II-AAA state semifinal game. He finished the 2024 season with 42 receptions for 705 yards and seven touchdowns. Defensively, he added 16 tackles, two for a loss, seven pass break-ups, two interceptions and a defensive TD.

Tennessee baseball signee Sean Dunlap is withdrawing from the 2026 MLB Draft and will play for Tennessee next season after going unselected in the first 10 rounds on July 12.
Dunlap, a catcher from Crown Point, Indiana, announced his decision on social media. One of the top position players in Tennessee’s 2026 recruiting class, he is ranked by Perfect Game as the No. 2 catcher and No. 38 recruit in the country.
He committed to Tennessee in November 2024 over Indiana, Vanderbilt, Notre Dame, Mississippi State, Indiana and others.
Dunlap entered the draft ranked by MLB Pipeline as the No. 124 prospect, third-best among high school catchers, and participated in the draft combine. He was ESPN’s No. 49 prospect.
Dunlap, who stands at 6-foot-3, 205 pounds, was named the 2026 player of the year in his home state by Prep Baseball Report and MaxPreps and was the Chicago Post-Tribune’s area player of the year. He hit .473 with 45 RBIs, nine home runs, 11 doubles and three triples for Crown Point.
